What are the different types of animals?Animals can be grouped into types such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Each group has its own features – for example, birds have feathers and lay eggs, while mammals have fur and feed their babies milk. We can also name and recognise common animals, including pets. Some animals live in water, others on land, and some can do both.

What do animals eat?Animals can be sorted by what they eat. Carnivores eat only meat, herbivores eat only plants, and omnivores eat both plants and meat. We can learn about different animals by finding out what they eat. This helps us understand how they live and survive.

How can we describe and compare different animals?Animals have different body parts, coverings, and ways of moving. Some have scales, feathers, fur, or smooth skin. We can compare animals by looking at their size, number of legs, tails, or wings. This helps us spot similarities and differences between animals, including pets.

What are the names and parts of common plants and trees?Plants include flowering plants, bushes, and trees. Some trees are deciduous, which means they lose their leaves, while evergreen trees keep their leaves all year round. All plants have basic parts like roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. We can name common plants and learn how their parts help them grow and survive.

Mammal – An animal with fur or hair that feeds its babies milk.

Bird – An animal with feathers and wings that usually lays eggs.

Fish – An animal that lives in water and breathes through gills.

Carnivore – An animal that eats only meat.

Herbivore – An animal that eats only plants.

Omnivore – An animal that eats both plants and meat.

Compare – To look at how things are the same or different.

Leaf – A part of a plant that helps it catch sunlight.

Flower – The colourful part of a plant that makes seeds.

Tree – A tall plant with a trunk, roots, and branches.
